There are currently active wildfires in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and Canada. The closest fire impacting the area is near the end of the Gunflint Trail and the businesses and homes around Sea Gull and Saganga Lakes are currently at SET status. However, the majority of the region remains open. The current impact to the area is air quality, which changes rapidly. The air quality forecasts are expected to improve after Friday.
